Hi

I live in a conservation area and have article 4 specifically applied to our gaff

We have 4 sash windows in need of severe tlc and also have a non original wooden back door which is similarly down on it's luck and a major source of draughts. We have considered refurbing but reckon replacement is the way to go, some of the woodwork is awful and the door is just nasty

Due to the conservation issues it's been difficult getting anyone to even quote on account of the hassle associated with this, however a local guy has given us a figure of £7k and this seems to be his thing

If anyone would be kind enough to share their own experiences then I'd be very grateful

His figure is supplied, fitted painted and includes looking after all the conservation stuff and planning permission. Two sashes are a regular size however the other two are pretty big at 2m x1.2m. The back door is nothing special and includes a new frame

Cheers
